Answer:

20, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

smaller:   x

  larger:  2x - 16

x + 2x - 16 = 44

3x -16 = 44

3x = 60

x = 20

smaller:   x = 20

  larger:  2x - 16 = 2(20) - 16 = 24

The sum of the first and third of three consecutive even integers is 164. Find the three even integers.
givi [52]
The three even integers are 80, 82, and 84.

The sum of the first (80) and the third (84) integers = 80 + 84 = 164, verifying our answer.

A simple way to figure this out is to divide 164 by 2, which gives you 82. From this answer, if we subtract 2 to get the first integer and add 2 to get the third integer while keeping 82 as the second integer, we end up with the correct sum of 164.

Hope this helps!

Let "S" be the total amount of students

Let "C" be the total amount of candy

Let "P" be the total amount of popcorn

Let "T" be the total number of snacks

Let "a" be the price per candy

Let "b" be the price per popcorn

Let "M" be the total amount of money spent at the game

The price of the candy is unknown.

The price of the popcorn is unknown.

The total amount of money spent at the game is unknown.

(C*a) + (P*b) = M

I am not sure what you are asking for but, here is what I drew up for you. Hope this helps!
